Demand Supply and Revenue Balance

Volatility has become a common norm in manufacturing supply chain. Manufacturers, distributors and logistics services providers need to realign some of their planning practices specifically around this reality. Customer demand, changing markets or new-product introductions create information gaps that hinder your ability to deal with such volatile environments. These gaps are risky as Information sharing around inventory, POS, production data and distribution network needs to be seamless to keep planning relevant to supply chain execution. Bring a balance between demand, supply and revenue. Understand the impact of demand upside, supply failures. Simulate these scenarios as what -if and be prepared.

Understand the current balance between demand, supply & revenue. Simulate demand changes through adjustments to understand the impact to the demand satisfaction and corresponding revenue impact.

Allocate existing supplies to better satisfy demand. Understand the impact of choosing options between high ASP products or high volume / demand products.

Most of the time, the bottleneck of resources may be at a granular BOM level than the end product level. Simulate lower granularity resource levels to improve the bottleneck / supply levels.

Understand the impact of expediting shipment on demand satisfaction and revenue. Balance between the cost of expediting and the revenue increase.
